Title:
  nm-applet includes random networks in the top 5 wireless networks list

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have a fresh Lucid install.

  When I click on network-manager-applet, it shows a list of five
  networks and a More Networks submenu. The the five networks include
  networks I've connected to and other networks that I've never
  connected to. (Example: andrew, Banana, Do not click, eateat,
  watermelon. Where watermelon is the name of my network.) The other
  networks aren't always the same (but they are early in the alphabet).

  Since all of the first networks change, it looks like the whole list is changing (especially initially when I had connected only to my first network). I only realized that the list is supposed to show networks I connected to from here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607575
  "The NM 0.8 applet automatically puts "known" networks near the top, regardless of the alphabetical sorting."

  If the top five list can be restricted to the networks you've actually
  connected to or at least select other networks from the end of the
  alphabet, that would be much better. (So the first network you see is
  more likely to be a familiar name.)
